When all you watch is FOXNEWS, your mind gets so warped that even neutral news reporting looks like it is leaning heavily to the left. It does to your cerebral cortex what an inner-ear condition does to your balance. What TT has is a case of FOXNEWS brainstew.

I watch them all, and they all tilt one way or another. Neutral is what you see when they express your opinion on everything, but CNN is no more neutral than Fox news.

I don't like Hannity. Definitely overrated.

Hannity is Fox's Keith Olbermann or virtually anyone else on MSNBC (does real reporting even happen on MSNBC). Not real bright, yet arrogant. As much a narcissist as Obama.

Yes, but there was no need to rub it in so I kept it simple.

Hannity is not full of hate like Olberman and other MSNBC folks. He is passionate. There is a difference.

Luke Russert is the one person on MSNBC who I would consider an decent journalist. He does tilt to the left like his father Tim did, but he does do actual journalistic reporting.

I don't think Hannity is as much a narcissist as Obama. His status as the #2 rated cable news host and the #2 rated talk radio host has more to do with scheduling (Hannity follows Bill O'Reilly on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh on the radio, both #1 in their respective formats) than his talents as a television and radio host (which are very overrated). He has the basics of conservatism down, but he doesn't have the deep thought process behind conservatism like Limbaugh or Mark Levin do.

I didn't say it was neutral, but is definitely has more programming that is closer to neutral than FoxNews does.

Levin may be great in print, but he's awful on the radio...Michael Savage is even worse.

The daytime news anchors at CNN aren't far behind MSNBC in the left bias. Have you heard interviews by these anchors?

Kyra Phillips
Suzanne Malveaux
Soledad O'Brien
Don Lemon

All carry water for the Democratic Party during segments which are supposed to be straight news reporting.

Yes, I realize now how much of a reach that was.

Hannity thinks he is God's gift to the world; Obama thinks he is God.

And I also agree that Hannity is not full of hate like the left-leaning reporters like someone else pointed out.

I incorrectly lumped them all into the same basket.

Well no duh???? You're way too biased; especially when added to the rest of the openly pro socialist, liberal media.

Did you read it? If so, then you would see that they say CNN isn't biased enough. They've played in the middle so much that today's polarization (of which you support) and their lack of understanding of the internet (no surprise there, Time Warner sucks) is making them obsolete.

Okay...so which way should they go? More to the left, back to their roots? If they do, they would probably pass msnbc again in the ratings. I'd love to see msnbc fade away, even if it means they are replaced by CNN.

But, in the bigger picture, yes, the polarization of our nation, which is nothing new, has risen to new heights under obummer. There is really no middle left in politics. Anyone, like John McCain, who tries to occupy the middle, finds little support. This nation is as divided as it has been since 1860. Back then, the division was mostly (not totally) regional, today it is philosophical and folks, at both ends of the spectrum, have dug their heels in. They cyphon the ever-shrinking middlers to their side, as the middlers seek to find comfort by being in a larger group. A distinct human characteristic, such as leads other-wise sensible people to jump on the lspoo bandwagon, for instance. "All my neighbors have done it..." Just another in a looooooooooooooooong list of failures for obummer, who promised to be a uniter. He is the most partisan president in history, and his libtard policies have failed miserably.

Back to the media. Since they have to attract an audience to get ratings to attract advertisers (hmmmm, good old fashion capitalism), the networks have learned the middle has disappeared. So! choose a side and cater to it.
